I’ve stopped calling them Baby Boomers.

They are the Locust Generation. They came upon a nation in bloom and consumed everything they lighted upon. They left nothing in their wake.

The Greatest Generation saved the world and then put men on the Moon.

The GenX’ers have also been called the Sandwich Generation - caught between cataclysmic debt at every level and the expectations of children who, in America, expect to live better than their parents did.

The “greatest generation” destroyed America, who do you think passed the most destructive legislation and court decisions and Immigration laws, and founded NOW, and lost Vietnam while operating it as a meat grinder.

As far as the 60s, people don’t realize that they skip over the entire generation of Jane Fonda, the Beatles, and Bill Ayers, to get to blaming the boomers, a generation so young and powerless through the 60s and 70s, that 1984 was the first presidential election that all boomers were old enough to vote in.

The boomers were not running America in the 1960s, and they weren’t even running popular culture during that era.

Just start looking at the roots of our modern ills, and tracing them back to the men who created them, the Warren Court, JFK, LBJ, Nixon, Carter, the Generals, the University presidents, the NAACP, NOW, the ACLU, the George Meanys, and those old men that ruled from the 1930s through the 1990s.
